I am doing work placement at a nursing home and I am almost finished. Today I was feeling pretty good about it and thought I was doing well considering the severity of my anxiety, but then one of the workers made a comment about how quiet I am and that I should talk more if I want to get a job there.

She wasn't being rude or anything but it made me feel so horrible and upset. I have barely had any interactions with her. I spent the rest of the day feeling depressed and worried. Now I am really worried that I will not be able to find a job after placement is finished. I have tried to make an effort to get a job but I feel like I will never get one. It really hurts to know that I have tried but still am not good enough.
